Consumption of tuna or other broiled or baked fish is associated with a 28% lower risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) with intake 1 to 4 times per week (HR=0.72, P=0.005).

Encouraging the consumption of broiled or baked fish may help reduce the risk of AF in older adults.

StrongSupportsmedium confidence
In multivariate analyses, consumption of tuna or other broiled or baked fish was inversely associated with incidence of AF, with 28% lower risk with intake 1 to 4 times per week (HR=0.72, 95% CI=0.58 to 0.91, P=0.005).
